My first Crawler

[johnbhm]

A couple years ago one of my sons wanted to build an r/c truck and told me about crawlers. He also showed me this Range Rover hard body. It didn't take me long to decide I wanted to build a crawler. With his college my work and the pandemic the fun stuff got shelved. I decided to use the Traxxas chassis and my son helped me with the electronics.

Almost wants you to jump in click your seat belt and go hit it dirty.

Thank's, I built it as a 71' in bahama gold. We did the paint in my neighbors body shop using original paint codes, the interior was done in an automotive dye to match the original interior color and I had one of my kids 3D print a couple of crates to cover the suspension in the rear. I made a removable battery mount under the hood and recessed the power button under the floor pan as the hard body mounts are not the easiest to remove. With the battery location it climbs great and will get some video in a few weeks.The battery photo was before I tidied up the wiring.
